blackdog – the just do it attitude doesn’t work with me either. I have spent weeks trying to get a task done for work and so far have failed – so I am getting into trouble now. Even the adrenalin didn’t motivate me – I just got a stress headache instead. But today I finally feel like I am making progress with this task. I just hope I don’t lose the momentum.
But I found a quote – I don’t know who it should be attributed to. It’s a bit of a ‘just get it done’ quote, but for some reason it resonates with me better than some of them do. The quote is:
“Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen“.
It makes me feel like I need to take responsibility. If it was a ‘just do it’ quote it would annoy me but the wording is more acceptable. So it is stuck above my desk at the moment.
